A plane flying a straight course observes a mountain at a bearing of 30.3degrees to the right of its course. At that time the pl

ane is 9 kilometers from the mountain. A short time​ later, the bearing to the mountain becomes 40.3degrees. How far is the plane from the mountain when the second bearing is taken​ (to the nearest tenth of a​ km)?

Answer:

12km or 12 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values:

For the first bearing we have:

30.3 degrees at a distance of 9 kilometers

We are asked to find the second distance of the second bearing at 40.3 degrees

Therefore, we have:

30.3 degrees = 9km

40.3 degrees = ?? Unknown( we designate this as y)

We crossmultiply

30.3 degrees × y = 9km × 40.3 degrees

Divide the both sides by 30.3 degrees

y = (9km × 40.3 degrees) ÷ 30.3 degrees

y = 362.7/30.3 degrees

y = 11.97029703 km

Approximately to the nearest tenth of a km

y = 12km.

Therefore, the distance of the plane from the mountain when the second bearing is taken​ (to the nearest tenth of a​ km) is 12km.

Please explain your answer and I'll mark the Brainliest! Which complex number is the graph showing?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

A 2√2(cos 7π/4 + i sin 7π/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 2√2(cos 7π/4 + i sin 7π/4)

2 sqrt(2) ( sqrt(2)/2 - sqrt(2)/2 i)

Distribute

  2-2i

This is in the fourth quadrant  

B. 2√2(cos 150° + i sin 150°)

2 sqrt(2) (-sqrt(3)/2 +1/2i)

-sqrt(6) +sqrt(2) i

This is in the third quadrant (NO)

C. 2(cos 7π/4 + i sin 7π/4)

2( ( sqrt(2)/2 - sqrt(2)/2 i))

sqrt(2) - sqrt(2) i

This is the fourth quadrant

D. 2(cos 90° + i sin 90°)

2(0+i)

2i

This is on the positive y axis  NO

Now we need to decide between the two in the fourth quadrant.

The point has an x coordinate of 2 and a y coordinate of -2

This aligns with point A

What is the average rate of change of f over the interval [3,4]?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ 3, 4 ] , then

f(b) = f(4) = - 1 ← from table

f(a) = f(3) = - 5 ← from table , then

average rate of change = \frac{-1-(-5)}{4-3} = \frac{-1+5}{1} = 4

Answer:

The y intercept is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = mx + b where b is the y intercept. Since b = 2 here, the y intercept is 2. Yes, the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,2).
